If you ever get down New Orleans way
You might steer clear on St. Joseph's Day
The graveyard bones make a rattlin' sound
And the dead get up and start walkin' around
You might not believe me but I tell you it's true
And you would too, if it happens to you
I spent the night on a graveyard dare
And what I saw gave me a terrible scare
Rattlin' bones
Rattlin' bones
Creepin' around from behind their headstones
If you don't want to see them
Than you best stay home
Because there ain't no runnin' from
The rattlin' bones
You may not believe me but I tell you it's true
And you would too, it could happen to you
I spent the night in a graveyard dare
And what I saw gave me a terrible scare
Rattlin' bones
Rattlin' bones
Creepin' around from behind their headstones
If you don't want to see them
Than you best stay home
Cause there ain't no runnin from
The rattlin' bones
Rattlin' bones
Rattlin' bones
Creepin' around from behind their headstones
And if you don't want to see them
Than you best stay home
Cause there ain't no runnin' from
The rattlin' bones
